Reinsurers underwriting Space Quota-Share treaties have low, if any, visibility over the underlying technical risk of the launch and in-orbit risks their portfolio supports. Sciemus space portfolio risk analysis is based on the technical probability of failure of each satellite or launch vehicle using FMECA methodology and component reliability data in the same way as a satellite manufacturer would measure reliability. The analysis shows probability of loss distributions split into in-orbit / launch +1 run-off, on-risk and forecast. This information, when plotted against estimated premium income, clearly identifies the quality of the portfolio and allows comparisons between various treaties written and the risk to the total portfolio. Analysis can be provided as a one off review or as a quarterly or half yearly service to monitor movement in risk against premium as risks are ceded to quota-shares through the underwriting year.
